Bring your own model: provider-agnostic by design

OpenAI, Anthropic, or a local endpoint — and your own keys. Why we refuse to lock you to a single vendor.

The model landscape moves fast. The best model for a task this quarter may not be the best next quarter — and the right choice depends on your data, your budget, and your constraints.

So Helix Studio is provider-agnostic. Choose OpenAI, Anthropic, or any OpenAI-compatible local endpoint like Ollama or LM Studio. Add your own API key. We never mark up your tokens or hold your workflow hostage to a single vendor.

It's a small philosophical stance with big practical consequences: your tools should serve you, not lock you in. Optionality is a feature.
